Reviews

"I was absolutely enchanted by this experience. For fans of Riverdance, especially it’s an incredible delight. Siobhán makes it easy for experienced dancers and beginners alike to jump in. We had lots of opportunities for photos and videos. It felt so personal! I was able to ask my many questions about Irish dance and the show Riverdance. It was a dream come true for me. I’d give this experience a million stars if I could. I wouldn’t trade this for anything. Do yourself a favor and give it a try!!!"
"Learning Irish dance with Siobhán is an absolute treat. My wife and I took the class as part of our honeymoon, and while having no dance experience, Siobhán was very patient and encouraging, making the class accessible. For fans of Riverdance, the class will especially resonate! It was an unforgettable experience, and we'd gladly do it again. Thank you Siobhán!"
"Highly recommend this experience. We could not have imagined having such an established and internationally known instructor. The patience and easy breakdown made the class relaxed and fun the entire time. Our family of 4 including a 13 and 7 year old thoroughly enjoyed it."
